High Watch Recovery Center is a nonprofit organization focused on helping individuals recover from alcohol and drug addiction. Founded in 1939 in Kent, Connecticut, it is recognized as the world’s first treatment center grounded in the 12-step approach. The center serves adolescents, adults, and families by combining medical care with the community-based framework of Alcoholics Anonymous to support lasting sobriety, and it has earned the Gold Seal of Approval for patient safety and quality of care. Its campus spans more than 300 acres in the Litchfield Hills, about two hours north of New York City, and meals are served in a large dining room with breakfast made to order, a full salad bar, and accommodations for vegetarian and gluten-free diets. Among its services are round-the-clock support, a 24-hour helpline, weekly house meetings, on-site staff, laundry facilities, an admission pickup service, and daily admissions from 8am to 5pm.
